Intent - Provide a connection between indoor spaces and the outdoor environment through introduction of daylight and views into the occupied areas of the building

How Window Film Can Play a Role - Solar-Control and Glare-Reduction properties of window films eliminate or help to greatly reduce the need for closed blinds or shades, thus significantly improving the introduction of daylight and connection to the outdoor environment – light reduction from window film is LESS than total view and total light reduction from closed blinds or shades

Intent - Provide the opportunity for LEED points for additional environmental benefits beyond those in other LEED Rating System areas

How Window Film Can Play a Role - The 95+% UV Protection provided by many films helps protect occupants and furnishings from harmful and damaging UV rays. Many window films are recognized by the Skin Cancer Foundation as effective for protection against skin cancer

Intent - Reduce the environmental impact of the materials acquired for use in upgrades of buildings by using Local/Regional Materials

How Window Film Can Play a Role - The use of Local/Regional Materials reduces pollution and transportation costs associated with the delivery of materials to the job site. Credit is possible if 50% or more of a product is harvested or processed within 500 miles of the LEED Project
